Official Botswana DWNP rates
Moremi Game Reserve entry fees
Fees are set in Botswana Pula (P) per person per day, and every day counts, including your departure day. Pay in cash at the gate, or in advance by card at the DWNP office in Maun. At roughly P13.5 to the US dollar, the non-resident entry fee works out around $20 a day.
If you only want the answer
A non-resident pays P270 per day, about $20, plus P75 for a foreign vehicle under 3,500 kg, both charged every calendar day including departure day. The catch that matters: you cannot enter without a confirmed campsite reservation, and the campsites are run by private operators, not the parks department. Pula at the gate.
Park entry fee, Category A (per person, per day)
| Non-resident (international visitor) | P270 | about $20; P190 if you travel as the client of a licensed Botswana tour operator |
|---|---|---|
| SADC resident / Botswana resident | P205 | P145 as the client of a Botswana tour operator |
| Botswana citizen | P30 | P20 as a tour operator client |
| Children 8 to 15 | Half price | under 8 free; some campsite concessionaires apply an 8 to 17 bracket instead |
The postponed revision would raise the non-resident fee to P500 (and the operator-client rate to P640). It is delayed, not cancelled, so check before you budget for 2027. Do not confuse Moremi's Category A rates with the lower Category B rates (P190 non-resident) quoted for Botswana's other parks; that mix-up is why you see P380 and P270 circulating for the same gate.

Vehicle entry (per day)
| Foreign-registered vehicle under 3,500 kg | P75 | P75 at Moremi under the 2022 fee schedule; the P115 some 2026 sources quote is the Chobe-only rate |
|---|---|---|
| Botswana-registered vehicle | P20 | P20 at Moremi; P30 is the Chobe rate |
| Trailer | P10–40 | P10 Botswana-registered, P40 foreign-registered, per day (2022 schedule); P15 and P60 are the Chobe trailer rates |
Honesty required here: the official tariff annexure covering vehicles is not published anywhere we can verify, and reported figures conflict. P75 per day for a foreign 4x4 is supported by two independent 2022 to 2025 reports, but treat it as a working figure and confirm at the gate. Vehicles must be under 5 tonnes to cross the wooden bridges.

Camping: DWNP fee plus the concessionaire's rate
| DWNP camping fee (per person, per night) | P60 | non-resident; P45 SADC/resident, P20 citizen. This is the government portion only |
|---|---|---|
| Third Bridge campsite (Xomae Group) | P561 | non-resident per person; published 2023/24 rate, may have risen |
| Xakanaxa campsite (Kwalate Safaris) | ±$40 | non-resident per person; Kwalate publishes no rates, on enquiry |
| South Gate / Maqwee campsite (Kwalate Safaris) | ±$40 | non-resident per person, on enquiry |
| North Gate / Khwai campsite (SKL Camps) | $50 | non-resident per person, from the SKL tariff |
All four public campsites inside Moremi are DWNP-owned but privately run, and none can be booked through DWNP. You pay the concessionaire's campsite rate plus park entry plus the vehicle fee. A valid campsite reservation is required to enter the park at all: availability opens about 12 months out, Xakanaxa and North Gate sell out 6 to 8 months ahead for June to October, and turning up unbooked does not work.

Activities
| Motorboat cruise (Xakanaxa, Third Bridge or Mboma boat station) | Via boat station | no official price list; sharing a boat with other campers cuts the cost |
|---|---|---|
| Mokoro trip (Mboma Boat Station) | Via boat station | water-level dependent, best May to September |
| Fishing permit | Via DWNP or lodge | closed season January and February nationwide |
| Night drives and walking safaris | Not permitted | not allowed anywhere inside Moremi; offered only in the surrounding concessions such as Khwai |
The national tariff lists prices for walking safaris and night drives, but DWNP does not permit either activity inside Moremi. The line items exist because the tariff covers all parks; do not read them as proof the activity is available here.

Something this page does not answer?
Fees are the one thing park authorities change without telling anyone, and some of them publish nothing at all.
Ask us. We answer questions about the park itself, and we can usually tell you which camps work on one route and who to write to. If what you want is a trip someone else arranges, we will say so and hand you to an operator we know, and we earn a commission if that becomes a booking.
Nothing on this site sits behind the form. Every figure we have is already on the page.
